I have tried many many different mascaras and none of them do a little of everything like this one does. The little bristles on the rubbery brush really do define every single lash. The darkest color is VERY black. The formula is perfect. Not too wet. Not too dry. Just right. It flakes very minimally close to the end of it's life. Even the non-waterproof version never smears on me(and I live in GA...read more). The brush is surprisingly easy to use on the bottom lashes as the short bristles grab the lashes and coat them very easily. This makes me eyes look wide awake and like I have twice as many lashes. Best defining mascara ever. And, it never clumps on me no matter how many coats I put on so long as I do not let it dry in between. The price is a little high in my opinion which is why I removed one star. Other than that this is a favorite. I have repurchased it many times and will always go back to it.— 2 years, 1 month ago

First of all, this brush is HUGE. It took me a few days to master the art of NOT getting mascara everywhere, but after I did my lashes were full and lengthened. It definitely offers alot of volume, but can become clumpy after a few coats. It dries quickly and stays put. It's not my favorite, but it's not horrible either, especially for the small price you pay...I like this a whole lot better than Benefit Badgal and it's less than half the price!

I love this mascara, I really really do. Maybelline seems to be the reigning queen in drugstore mascara, but I don't really see the pull (except for the Full n' Soft; I like that). I never would've thought that Covergirl would produce a product, let alone a mascara, that would become my go-to. But this is it. This mascara thickens and separates beautifully; no matter how much you pile on. And it s...read moretill looks natural enough for work. Just to clarify, I use this volumizing formula and follow it with the LashBlast length and that is my potent cocktail; the LashBlast volume thickens and volumizes and the LashBlast length separates and lengthens. Seriously, this is a power couple that works just as good as any high-end mascara (and believe me, I've tried just about all of them). Now to try the LashBlast fusion...— 5 years, 3 months ago

This is a great inexpensive mascara which is able to help you achieve great volume. The first coat or two may not seem like much, but the more coats you put on, the more malleable your lash shape becomes and you can fan them out or just layer on volume, or both. This is a great "anything" mascara, one or two coats for work, and the ability to pump it up even more after work, what else could you need?

I have used this product for many years (probably since it first came out) and whenever I deviate from it, I always come back as it is the best! My daughter, sister and niece also use it - and sometimes it happens to show up in a gift package - when I give it or receive it! I hope Covergirl never changes it or takes it off the market. We all just love it and I highly recommend it. Plus, its easy t...read moreo remove and since I have bad allergies, doesn't come off when my eyes water - even though I don't use the waterproof kind.— 3 days, 15 hours ago

i wish they would bring back featherlash, i think it was called. this is an okay drugstore mascara, but i wouldn't buy it again. the darkest black to me seems dark, it does sometimes smude. the bottle is bulky. the brush seems to stay clean which is nice (something about the design helps it stay free of as many clumps). it is hard to reach the corners on the innermost and outermost parts of my eye...read mores.
i wish i had a better alternative to offer, but i haven't found any drugstore mascaras i love (but i'm not willing to buy fancier ones because of how often i need to replace them). — 1 month, 1 week ago

This mascara was ok. It lasted a long enough amount of time. It did its job just fine. But it didn't really make my lashes look special. It looked like I had just put black on my lashes. I would not recommend this mascara because it does nothing special for the eyes, and drugstores and CoverGirl offer so many more wonderful and affordable mascaras.

Everything about this mascara is great, the price, the wand, formula, and just about all other aspects. The only thing I'm not too happy about is how it dried out in a few weeks. I've had other drugstore mascaras that have lasted a while longer.
